Transmission is possible only if the CTS line (controlled by the Host) is active.

Software handshaking: (XON/XOFF)
During transmission, if the Host sends the XOFF character (13 Hex), the decoder
interrupts the transmission with a maximum delay of one character and only resumes
when the XON character (11 Hex) is received.
